OUR TEAM

ERIC L. YOUNG, ESQ.

Whistleblowers have received 9 awards under IRS § 7623(b).
Eric represented the first. And served as an expert in the largest.

Eric has helped clients report some of the nation’s largest frauds against the U.S. Government. Many are still under investigation and confidential. But he’s already helped recover more than $2 billion for the U.S. Treasury. When the International Ethics Standards Board of Accountants needed input on revising their code of ethics for reporting fraud, they contacted Eric and invited him to a roundtable of accountants to help get the rules right. He’s represented clients on four continents from a wide range of professional positions in health care, government contracting and the financial industry, among others. And Eric has built a network of contacts to ensure he has access to the resources necessary to fight Fortune 500 companies breaking the law. Prior to starting McEldrew Young, Eric founded Young Law Group.

JAMES J. MCELDREW, III

Jim has helped clients recover more than $100 million.

Jim has vigorously represented clients in lawsuits for more than 30 years. He’s the former President of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association. He is the past President of the Academy of Rail Labor Attorneys. Jim is designated counsel for the Transport Workers Union and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. He has lectured on a variety of legal issues to audiences of judges, practicing attorneys and law students. In 2011, he expanded his practice to begin representing DOJ, IRS and SEC whistleblowers in qui tam litigation and retaliation lawsuits.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

After being injured on the job, I hired Jim McEldrew despite my positive history with another lawyer because I found him to be highly competent and such a gentleman who truly cares about his clients. Throughout the case process, Jim showed over and over to me and my fellow linemen buddies how generous he is with his time and resources. Thanks, Jimmy.

Ron DiMaulo, former SEPTA lineman.

During our 8-9 years of working together, Jim did everything within his power to prove my case. He is relentless and never stops trying to help his clients. Jim really lives the case as a lawyer and as a father. He took on the burden as if it were his own. For that, my children and I will be forever grateful

Lisa Lindstrom, mother of twins damaged during birthing process.

I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Brandon Lauria over the course of a few years.
Brandon ... has helped me with my legal issues in such a way that not only were we successful with the results, but Brandon showed true compassion for me while guiding me through the process.

Family Law Client

Eric is a honest person who fights for the rights of the oppressed! He does an excellent job of investigation, has incredible knowledge, great in front of a jury!

Wage & Hour Client

I found Jim to be highly competent and a gentleman who truly cares about his clients.

Personal Injury Client

Eric Young was very professional and showed relentless determination in getting my case settled. His knowledge, skill and expertise were evident in all phases of my lawsuit, from the litigation filing to the completion of the case.

Whistleblower Client

I can recommend Eric Young without reservation. Without his representation and his connections, my case would probably never have been recognized by the government.

Whistleblower Client

Jim was referred to me by a co-worker and since my encounter with him I have not used any other lawyer.

Health Care Client

Approximately 7 years ago while I was an active duty police officer I was run over by a drunk driver and I lost my leg .... [Jim] assured me that even when things were looking bleak, he was not going to stop fighting, and that is exactly what he has done. Fought and won!

OUR PRESS COVERAGE IN WHISTLEBLOWING

COMPANIES WE’VE SUED

LOCATED OVERSEAS? WE WILL REPRESENT YOU!

CATASTROPHIC PERSONAL INJURY

We’re ready to go to war for you.

Our trial attorneys have taken hundreds, if not thousands, of cases to verdict for clients. Our attorneys have handled a remarkably diverse set of personal injury cases on behalf of clients in the Philadelphia area. We do the most work for clients in medical malpractice, FELA and transportation accidents. However, in our combined 100 years of legal practice, we’ve handled everything from dog bites to nursing home neglect to mass torts.

ATTORNEY REFERRALS

Our catastrophic injury clients find us through word of mouth.

Recommendations from other attorneys and past clients are one of the highest honors for an attorney. We’re proud to say that we’ve had hundreds of clients come to us through people we know. We pay referral fees consistent with the rules of ethics for the Pennsylvania Bar.

Our Home: Philadelphia

Our primary office is located in Center City, Philadelphia a short walk south of City Hall. We represent individuals in catastrophic personal injury litigation in Center City as well as the suburbs (Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Bucks County).

We are not afraid to venture out of the city when called upon to help our clients. Our mass tort practice is nationwide and our whistleblower practice is global. Philadelphia is located a reasonable two hours from both New York City and Washington D.C., allowing us to assist both Wall Street whistleblowers and meet with the government concerning cases.
